Can OCD be cured through self-control?
The answer is a ‘Yes’ and a ‘No’.It is a no because OCD thoughts are intrusive, irrational and unpleasant. Even if the sufferer wants to avoid, he cannot. He feels a very strong urge to perform some actions which give him temporary relief to get rid of that anxiety. The person may be rational, have self control during other times but when he is exposed to certain triggers, he falls into this trap which will not be cured by just self control .‘A yes’ because during therapy, via Exposure Response Prevention, he learns to expose himself and bear the anxiety without performing compulsive actions. As he shows resistance to doing these actions, he gets de-sensitized and eventually the urge to perform ritualistic actions will subside. And here, self- control does help as he needs to tolerate anxiety. Through counseling, he learns to manage his thoughts. So self control does help in curing OCD provided he learns the skills and strategies to deal with OCD.

When can self-control be a bad thing?
Some people think that pretending everything is alright and smiling even when you're nervous/sad/angry/depressed etc. is self control. That is NOT self control. It's putting on a facade, because we're terrified to show our vulnerable side to others. It's just repressing your emotions - it's very unhealthy, both for your body and your psyche. Hiding your true emotions for a long time always takes it toll, especially when dealing with anger and anxiety (and I speak from experience here).
Why do some people think men have no self control?
I can't believe what this lady told me. She's from an extremely radical and strict side of church. She said that it takes one look down a girl's shirt for a guy to lose control and sleep with her or rape someone else because she's not easy. WTF? So women who wear clothes that show their cleavage or thighs are responsible for other women that get raped?
My girlfriend has no self control?
I love my old lady but when I'm in the field and gone on taskings she'll go out w her friends and get super loaded and flirt w guys I'm trying to keep an open mind but how far is to far? Ill call her when I'm across the country, and she tells me she's going out and that she's going to drink moderately .... but the next time I talk to her she breaks down in tears saying she got way to drunk and feels like ****. Guys buy her drinks and when she stays at her friends for the night some guys go home w them. She tells me they flirt w her but thats it . I want to believe her but she can't control herself when I'm not around. She knows she has an issue I think but is not taming it. She says its cause she's a people pleaser and doesn't want to b the odd ball out. But how far will she go to please people?! Anyways if anyone has a suggestion or helpful tips to deal w this I would appreciate it
